Taking advantage of having a guitar again for the next couple weeks! The great thing about playing an instrument is that even when you're terrible, it makes you feel goooooood. ;)

Post up your stuff! Make requests! Show your fav performances!

I wish I had the equipment for it, but sadly, all I have are a somewhat beaten guitar and piano. Nothing with which I can record and post sadly. But awesomeness nonetheless!

Not a bad rendition.

I, unfortunately, never got around to actually learning the guitar. The guitar I chose makes my fingers hurt to play, so I have to develop callouses via frequent playing before I can learn songs. I had callouses at one point, but didn't stick with it.

It's on my To-Do list though.

I'll answer your challenge sometime February; I'm getting a computer with a camera in it around the 31st of January.

Appologies for the black and white filter - it was either that or blue and pixelated because of how old and crappy my PC's webcam is.

I had no idea I moved my head and pulled faces so much while I'm playing. :|

It's your inner rock star coming out! *FIST BUMP*

Help with this one, please! I'm fairly certain I heard this on the radio not long before I took off and I have no idea what it was and humming it to my mates hasn't jostled any memories. Anyone know what it is? D=

Guess I'll need to do a few practice runs over the keys then ^_^;

Had the house to myself, and so decided to play the piano:

It's really short, and actually doesn't compare to all of your stuff. But I actually managed to use both of my hands to do what I wanted, and I haven't been able to do that yet.

Mad envy of your piano skills! That was super pretty - it reminded me of something you'd hear in a Kirovsky District bar in St. Petersburg.

Not only do I get to download this song, but you also introduced me to box! Liz, you're an angel. And I'm working on something completely unoriginal to upload, so yeah.

I thought I was ready to make my next recording. I wasn't. Is that how my voice sounds? Gah.

I totally understand! Hearing ones voice is a weird experience. :p

People who play the piano, play morrrrrrre.

Here is a clumsy attempt to goad you into doing something better. Mumford & Sons (and bonus, accidental!Atonement OST)

I love how accidentally you stumbled on the Atonement tune. That's how I figure out half the musical stuff I've ever learned. More than half. Perhaps 13/18s of my repertoire was accidentally learned.

I was trying and failing to learn how to play 'The Wind that Shakes the Barley', and gave up in frustration. Then I started playing with some chords and stuff, and then I played something that I thought would go very well with what's happening now in "An Offer You Can't Refuse".

Very folkish with undercurrents of desperate urgency and high energy. Kinda feels like a cut from Last of the Mohicans, which has the same urgency. Love it.

The important thing is not to stop when you make mistakes, right? :uhoh Testing the new tablet's video and uploading capabilities and soaking up time with a piano while it's still available. :(
